Kuala Lumpur, 23 December, 2010 - Christmas season is upon us again and with it a sense of joy, goodwill and cheerful spirits. For some, Christmas is a religious holiday, for others it’s a time to spend with family and friends, while for some Christmas is a much-needed rest after a busy year. 

However you choose to celebrate Christmas, remember one thing: Christmas is about love. Now is the time to let go of past hurts, forgive those who have offended you and take the time to give back to others. Above all, Christmas is a season of giving. And as you take part in festivities, perhaps decorating the Christmas tree, singing carols or eating sweets, remember to relax and enjoy yourselves. Christmas is, after all, a holiday and a welcome period of rest and rejuvenation before beginning a new year. 

May you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
